Assertion :- Mountain roads rarely go straight up the slope.
Reason :- Slope of mountains are large, therefore more chances of vehicle to slip from roads.
Reason :- Slope of mountains are large, therefore more chances of vehicle to slip from roads.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Assertion Reason are True the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Option A is correct because mountain roads are built with a gradual slope to reduce the required force and prevent slipping, and the reason correctly explains why steeper slopes increase the risk of slipping.

Statement-I: When a person is on the floor of a lift which is at rest, the resultant force on him is equal to his weight
Statement-II: When the lift is moving with uniform velocity, then the apparent weight of the man is zero
Statement-II: When the lift is moving with uniform velocity, then the apparent weight of the man is zero
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-I is true and statement-II is false
Option B is correct. Statement-I is true because when the lift is at rest, the resultant force on the person is equal to their weight. Statement-II is false because when the lift moves with uniform velocity, the apparent weight of the man is equal to his actual weight, not zero.

Assertion: Sum of work done by the Newton’s third law pair internal forces, acting between two particles may be zero.
Reason: If two particles undergo same displacement then work done by Newton’s third law pair forces on them is of opposite sign and equal magnitude.
Reason: If two particles undergo same displacement then work done by Newton’s third law pair forces on them is of opposite sign and equal magnitude.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Option A is correct because if two particles undergo the same displacement, the work done by the Newton's third law pair forces on them is of opposite sign and equal magnitude, potentially summing to zero.
